Coach Talk

Will's Team
Listen Will's Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 27 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 83.52. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Crouching Tigers
It's entirely possible that Crouching Tigers would be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Seeing just eight targets as a group in Week 15, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
